The Challenge
The client was considering purchasing a new SMD machine due to the low OEE and insufficient performance.
The Solution
OEE analysis identified unused potential. Optimized changeover time, grouped products, installed fixed tooling, and improved material supply.
The Result
Avoided unnecessary machine investment; Increased efficiency and machine output
